Citizens of many countries can travel to Costa Rica and receive a Visa upon arrival at the port of entry. The following is a list of the countries and the length of time visas are issued for. Please note: this list is subject to change according ot the policies of the Costa Rican government. We recommend you consult your local Costa Rican Embassy or Consulate to ensure your country is still included in this list.

If your country is not in this list, you may require a visa for Costa Rica and so should obtain one from the Costa Rican consulate in your country of residence. If there are no embassies or consulates in your country of residence, we suggest you contact the consulate nearest you and request more information.
